A Canadian Pacific Railway plan to replace 78 small community agents in the Brandon division with a consolidated customer service centre drew no public opposition at a Canadian Transport hearing. The proposal would enable long distance calls to book freight and passenger reservations across the division including southeast Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba to Metropolitan Winnipeg. The Brandon division would see 54 of 82 jobs affected, with 18 retiring early, 18 transferring to the new centre, 21 moving elsewhere, and 15 helped to find other work. CP Rail cited reduced competition and customer needs as reasons, noting public meetings in 40 division communities and 14 similar centres since 1966.
